The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 8.6/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.1/10.
The filing record is not thin: 94 evictions logged in this tract. Cost burden runs 39% against 34.3% citywide, putting Hillcrest 4.2% over its own city.
Average gross rent is $629, 14% below the Youngstown average of $728. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 3.0% of renter households.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
